THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. A FAMILY IN EL DORADO HILLS, THE DOG WENT MISSING IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE DOG SURVIVED AND THE FAMILY ALWAYS KNEW THAT THEY WOULD. THE FAMILY WAS ON HIS LAST CAMPING TRIP OF THE FALL IN 2012. A GUNSHOT SPOOKED THEIR FIVE-YEAR-OLD GOLDEN RETRIEVER MURPHY AND CENTER RUNNING INTO THE WOODS. I COULDN'T SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT. THEY SPENT TWO MORE DAYS SEARCHING FOR MOVIE -- MURPHY BEFORE PACKING UP AND HEADING OUT TO EL DORADO HILLS. THEY MADE MISSING POSTERS AND WENT BACK TO THE MOUNTAINS TO POST THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. DOZENS OF SIGHTINGS START COMING IN FROM AS FAR AWAY AS LAKE TAHOE. STILL, THEY KEPT LOOKING. WE WERE ASKING PEOPLE, DO YOU THINK WE ARE CRAZY? ALL THROUGH ONE WINTER AND ANOTHER, THEY NEVER GAVE UP HOPE. TWO WEEKS AGO, THEY WERE BACK AT FRENCH MEADOWS AND MET THE NEW CAMPGROUND MANAGER THAT SAID HE RECENTLY NOTICED A DOG HANGING AROUND. MOST CAMPERS, IT WILL SCARE THEM THINKING IT IS SOMETHING OTHER THAN A DOG. BUT THE WILD DOG MOVED IN CLOSER UNTIL SOMEBODY GOT A LEASH AROUND HER NECK. THEY GOT A PHONE CALL AND WERE ON THEIR WAY. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP HUGGING MURPHY. EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS CHANGED A LOT, THE SCAR ON HER FRONT LEG PROVES IT IS REALLY HER. IT'S A MIRACLE AND YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE IN IT. ALL THE HOPE YOU HAVE, AND SURVIVAL. HOW IT SURVIVED A YEAR AND A HALF IN THE WILDERNESS IS A MYSTERY. AND FOR ALL HER SKILL, MURPHY WILL NEVER TELL. THEY SAY THAT MURPHY HAD A COLLAR BUT LOST IT WHILE SHE WAS MISSING AND THAT SHE HAS A NEW
